HUMOR - GRATITUDE - SPIRITUALITY - HONESTY - LOVE
Personality Profile
What character strength do you value the most and why?
The character strengths that I value most are humor and gratitude. Humor has the power to create and build relationships, while also making an environment feel welcoming. By reflecting on gratitude, it helps me to stay grounded and centered. The world can be a heavy place and often times we focus on what has gone wrong, rather than all the things that go right.
How do your top character strengths support your work at TMF?
The character strength of humor and love are ones that I see daily in my role. We often times think of love to mean a romantic love, but in the workplace this strength comes out in the form of caring and compassion for Travis Manion Foundation. I enjoy building relationships with those who I have the pleasure of working with or even those who are involved in the TMF community. Humor allows me to break down barriers and often times, people will open up more when you can make them laugh!
What do you enjoy most about working with veterans, survivors, and inspired civilians?
What I enjoy most about working with veterans, survivors, and inspired civilians is the opportunity to give back to this special community. By being able to work with them, it is just one way that I can say, "thank you" for the many sacrifices that they have made. Their stories of resilience continue to be inspiring on a daily basis.
